Turntable Recommendation 15K budget Avid Acutus, Brinkmann, Oracle, Nottingham,,


Hi All,

Im looking for suggestion or any forms of recommendation for a New Turntable,My  buget is from 10-15K. I already have a Tri-Planer Tone arm and just looking to upgrade the table.


Not interested in the Kuzma or VPI, below are the ones i am looking at mostly:

AVID Acutus
Oracle,
Brinkmann
Nottingham
Origin Live
Hanns
Transorotor


Or a Older Gerad, Technics SP-10 Thorens?

Anymore suggestion,

I abandoned Vinyl many years ago in pursuit for the best digital gear. Was extremely disappointed with the MSB Diamond & Analog DAC after owning it for over 18 months i sold them both.

I now have the Playback Design Merlot dac and pleased with it but would like to go back into Vinyl.

Im looking for a very musical presentation, transparent, speed which has a nice midrange bloom but not over the top. Somethign which can last me for a few years at least 5-8 years with out upgrading.

If buying new - not on your list:
- DPS 3 - I regret not buying the original DPS - compact turntable - has the weight and aplomb of a big deck.
- Amazon Referenz ((I have the model one)
- Townshend Rock 7 
-  SME 20/2 - many think they actually sound better with a different arm to the SME V
- Funk Saffire  http://www.thefunkfirm.co.uk/turntables/saffire_III.html - sounded superb
- the grand prix monaco 

Of those on your list I have to say my favourite is the Avid Acutus
